These 90° Tip Flat Bar Hooks of different manufacture fight each other in this display (see inset photo for variation in backplate size and frontwire mounted height). Note the uneven hook alignment of fronts. This tie display was 4 times wider than shown in the photo and the mismatch of hooks was all the more evident running across the entire wall. Having a psychological effect, the poor quality display lessens the value of the goods offered. If you have a discount on hooks from a new vender, make sure that they match your existing fixtures in all regards … particularly alignment from a customer viewpoint. Also give your existing vender the courtesy of a call on the new offer. He may immediately be able to point out the differences or suggests ways to save on your original fixture.
